Well, technically, this post isn't even the beginning. It's not even the first blog post I did on this site. It is in fact, the second. #WriteUpWednesday "The Quiet Zone" was the first one, but this will be rather similar. BUT, it is the first #FreeThoughtFriday so, WOOHOO! Let's begin!
When I had the crazy idea of starting a blog, which is what I am doing right now, I was perfectly aware of the fact that I would have no readers (at least initially). After that, I thought about the point of doing this at all if no one's reading it. These early posts which I spent time on might not even be read... ever. If I do get readers on my blog later on, these posts, the pioneers of this blog, would be buried under several others. Therefore, what is the point? I am talking, rather, writing to a void. However, and with this I shocked even myself, I did not mull over that thought for more than a few seconds. This blog... it is a form of journal for me. It is an expressive outlet. It does not matter much to me whether I get 5 or 500 readers. Of course, I wouldn't want this blog to be in the "Quiet Zone" forever with no one reading it aside from myself, but the immediate purpose of this blog is not for others but for myself. I made that choice early this year, at around March, that I would start making decisions that are beneficial to myself as well. Call it selfish; I call it regaining my sanity after spending such a long time being so needlessly selfless. Everything has its limits. So here's to humble beginnings, and to anyone else who gets to read this blog post, no matter how far away in the future you may be, thank you...
